Chapter 1 Everyday Life

When the war on the front line was in full swing, Zhang Xuan also undertook a lot of tasks, not anything else, but logistics baggage support, whether it was grain and grass, materials, weapons, etc., all of them continued to go to the north, hundreds of thousands of troops were fighting, and the daily consumption was astronomical.

Zhang Xuan had to supply a large amount of supplies to the front line, and he had a tight life.

However, there are certain rules for these things. The governors of the provinces did a good job. Don't worry about it.

Zhang Xuan heard that the frontline was in a good situation, and Luo Yulong pressed forward step by step, taking most of Shandong into his bag.

And Wang Long's department was also transferred from Chongqing as Gao Shiheng's reinforcements. As the governor of Sichuan and the commander-in-chief of Chongqing, Zhang Xuan had to send a lot of reinforcements to help Hu Tang stabilize the situation. In this case, Zhang Xuan relaxed instead.

"Daddy." A little girl, the ice and snow are cute, and her eyes seem to be stars. The little short leg ran fast, rushed into the distance and hit Zhang Xuan's leg directly.

When Zhang Xuan saw her, his heart suddenly warmed, he hugged her with both hands, and said, "Ping'er, looking for Daddy, what are you going to do?" ”

In a trance, Zhang Xuan had left Nanjing for several years, and when he left Nanjing, Zhang Ping had not yet been born, and now he is three years old.

Although Zhang Xuan knew that Zhang Ping was not his own flesh and blood, when he saw this lovely child, some mustard in his heart dissipated. He also has no intention of embarrassing a small child. It's not close to Zhang Ping, but it's not bad.

Zhang Ping came with Dong Xiaowan.

Luo Yulong intended that during his northern expedition, Zhang Xuan would sit in the south for him, so he naturally had a lot of preferential treatment for Zhang Xuan. If it weren't for Luo Yujiao's special identity, Luo Yulong would have wanted Luo Yujiao to go south to reunite with Zhang Xuan.

Luo Yulong's closest relatives are Luo Yujiao alone. During Luo Yulong's northern expedition, although he entrusted Nanjing to Yang Chengzu and Qian Qianyi, he was not too relieved in his heart, so he let Luo Yujiao take care of one or two in Beijing, although he did not have any great power, but Luo Yujiao made Luo Yulong feel at ease in Nanjing, and if there was any abnormality, Luo Yulong could also be notified in time.

So let Dong Xiaowan pass.

It's just that Luo Yulong didn't know that Dong Xiaowan and Zhang Xuan had never shared a bed once, but they were the little girls who often followed Zhang Xuan, and they had an ambiguity with Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan's southern expedition, he also had no intention of men and women, although he knew that as long as he hooked his fingers, there would be countless beauties sent to his bed, but under the frequent wars, today is still glorious and rich, and tomorrow may be, he will be in a different place.

Zhang Xuan hasn't had such a big heart yet.

After that, the war slowly settled down, and many things had certain rules, so Zhang Xuan was not so busy, especially when Zhang Xuan wanted to reform grassroots affairs, he was pressed by Qian Qianyi. All Zhang Xuan can do

Less.

The staff group headed by Zheng Lian handled many routine affairs on behalf of Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan has leisure now.

And when Xiaoya came to the south, she had already been explained by Luo Yujiao. Luo Yujiao arranged for Xiaoya to warm Zhang Xuan's bed. Zhang Xuan is in the south all the year round, how can there be no one around him?

It was so good to be a man in ancient times. Everything is properly arranged on Madame's side.

This is all sent to the pillow, Zhang Xuan naturally can't refuse in the face of such a temptation.

Dong Xiaowan is a first-class Jiangnan native, and Mao Bijiang is also a beautiful man, so Xiaopinger, although she is only three or four years old, looks even more cute. After a long time, I slowly got closer to her, who could refuse a little daughter to be coquettish.

Zhang Ping bit her fingers, blinked her watery eyes, and there was a trace of confusion in her eyes, and said, "I don't remember." ”

Zhang Xuan laughed when he heard this, pinched Zhang Ping's armpits with both hands, threw Zhang Ping in the air with a gentle throw, and then caught it again, and said, "Yes, no, I want to throw it high." ”

Zhang Ping was thrown by Zhang Xuan and fell together in the air, and suddenly became excited, opened his big mouth, laughed loudly, and even laughed out of saliva.

Zheng Lian walked over from the side, and when he saw the father and daughter like this, he stopped far away and stood at the gate of the courtyard.

Zhang Xuan's eyes saw Zheng Lian, so he hugged Zhang Ping in his arms and said, "You follow your little aunt to play, Daddy has something." ”

Although Zhang Ping was a little disappointed, she nodded sensibly, Zhang Xuan stretched out her hand to summon Xiaoya and asked Xiaoya to take Zhang Ping down. Then he said, "Tell me, what's the matter?" ”

Zhang Xuan knew that he had time to deal with official business, and if it wasn't for urgent business, Zheng Lian wouldn't have come to him at this time.

Zheng Lian came over and said, "There is one thing, the Zheng clan of Annan has prepared a large army to go south, and wants to pacify the Ruan clan in one battle. ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Sooner or later, there will be this day. In the small land of Annam, there are three or four regimes, and if the Zheng clan does not have the ambition to unify it, it is not the Zheng clan. When Zhang Xuan said this, he sneered and said, "Have you arranged all the things that should be arranged?" ”

Zheng Lian said: "It has been arranged. A batch of artillery was transferred from the Macao Artillery Factory to the sea to support the Nguyen Thi. ”

"That's good." Zhang Xuan said.

Sitting in Zhang Xuan's position, if there is no ambition to expand the territory, it is impossible, Zhang Xuan naturally has this idea, but now the Central Plains is undecided. You don't have to stretch your hands, but you can bury a few nails.

At least let Annan maintain the status quo, and in the future when the army goes south. Spend a little less effort.

Therefore, Zhang Xuan will never let Annan be unified in Liangguang and Guangzhou. He had laid out this strategy a long time ago

went.

"Is there anything new over there in Yunnan?" Zhang Xuan said.

"Nope." Zheng Lian said: "Sun Kewang is rectifying the Yunnan place, however, the people below seem to have found out something, Sun Kewang sent people to have personal contact with the Zheng family, the Wu family, and the Mo family in Annan. As for the level of connection, it has not yet been clarified. ”

"Out of the way." Zhang Xuan said: "Annan is just a corner place. Just give General Cao a wake-up call. ”

Zhang Xuan takes a fancy to Annan, but in this era, Annan, a small country, really can't affect the overall situation of the world, not to mention that he himself is torn apart.

"Xia Guan understands." Zheng Lian said.

Zhang Xuan and Zheng Lian walked while talking. Walk slowly along the path in the back garden.

"What is the situation in Sichuan?" Zhang Xuan said.

Zheng Lian said: "Wu Sangui seems to have received orders from the Qing court and is preparing to march east and attack Chongqing. However, Chongqing is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is a large army to defend it, Wu Sangui has not sent troops yet, it is just to create momentum, and Lord Hu also hinted at one thing. ”

"What's the matter?" Zhang Xuan said.

"Wu Sangui seems to have some connection with Nanjing." Zheng Lian said.

Zhang Xuan secretly said in his heart: "The three family slaves are so virtuous. He thought for a while and said: "Don't get involved in this matter, just treat it as if you don't know, I estimate that Wu Sangui is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and most of it will be in vain." ”

"Yes." Zheng Lian said.

"All the logistical supplies needed for the front line are ready?" Zhang Xuan asked.

This sentence is what Zhang Xuan asks every day.

Zheng Lian said: "Lord Yao has already arranged these things properly, but the number of artillery is a little insufficient. ”

Zhang Xuan also had some troubles in his heart.

The advantage of the Xia army in front of the Qing army can be described in two words, that is, artillery. Supply of artillery in large quantities. While making the Qing army feel tricky, it also made the rear feel embarrassed. Even if the iron molded cannon method is easy to use, it still takes time for this artillery to change from iron to artillery, and it needs to have enough iron.

The iron supply for the army in various parts of the south of the Yangtze River is already insufficient. So some of the shares were apportioned to the Guangdong Manufacturing Bureau.

It's just that the production capacity of the Guangdong Manufacturing Bureau, on top of this huge demand, is not enough.

Zhang Xuan sighed and said, "It would be nice if the Hainan iron ore was discovered." ”

Zheng Lian smiled: "There are three good news about this matter. ”

"Oh?" Zhang Xuan said: "What good news? ”

"The first batch of coal from Hongji Coal Mine has already left the port, and I want to arrive in Guangzhou within a few days." Zheng Lian said.

Zhang Xuan said: "This is indeed a good thing. ”
